In the afternoon we took a walk back to the High Line trail. This is the trail we walked previously. We passed four dogs tied up in front of an apartment building. I guess they were waiting for their dog walker. They were all so well behaved. That is one thing about the NYC dogs, most are very well behaved.
Last time we walked the park we were confronted several times by bogus monks asking for money. There are signs warning tourists about this scam. After the second "monk" approached us handing us a gold token Jim decided to have some fun. He took the token and thanked him but we continued to walk on. The "monk" kept following us saying "peace" and trying to solicit money from us. We kept walking and he finally gave up. Here are a few signs of spring we saw.
After the High Line we walked to Chelsea Market. This was a bonus we found while walking around the Meat Packing District. Chelsea Market is a food hall and shopping area built in a former Nabisco factory complex where the Oreo cookie was invented and first produced. There were vendors and every kind of food imaginable. Jim and I went into The Lobster Place for lunch. He ordered a lobster roll and I got an Alaskan King Crab Leg.
Jim didn't want his picture taken but he graciously posed for me anyway. Chelsea Market was really a cool place. After Chelsea we walked back to the Hope Lodge and were both pretty tired. I made Asian Lettuce Wraps for dinner and we chilled the rest of the night watching the Voice. We walked over 6 miles today.
It was a good day!
